Why do members of today's Christian Churches
deny the power of God that can help them overcome their sins to live righteous lives
and yet still profess to be Christians?

On the Day of Pentecost, nearly 2,000 years ago,
Jesus Christ made available His miraculous Holy Spirit
which provides the POWER to help believers to overcome the world,
Satan and one's sins!
This POWER from God is a miracle in
a believer's life and will assist him in overcoming his sins,
and is POWER FROM GOD that can help a person to
develop and build the spiritual life that is needed to develop
the LOVE that Christ requires in His saints to come to have
the very HEART and MIND of God IN ORDER TO BECOME ONE OF HIS SONS.

Why is it then in today's Christian
churches that their members, who profess to be Christians, declare
how Jesus Christ has come into their life and has helped them,
but not to overcome their sins and to keep God's commandments?
They say that their new life in Christ has come about through
the spirit and power of Jesus Christ, but at the same time, these
same people will deny God's power which can help them to stop committing
sins, based on and defined by God's law. They justify the denial of God's
POWER in their lives by having accepted Satan's false teaching that Christ
will save them in their sins. They believe that they don't have to overcome all of
their sins and repent of breaking God's law in order to be saved, because
they have accepted today's Christian teaching, inspired by a false spirit, that obeying God's
10 commandments is not required in receiving salvation. Satan's ministers
have led them to believe that the works of commandment keeping is
not required by Christ to be accepted for the forgiveness of one sins.

These "confessed to be Christ
followers" are terribly deceived, and choose to
continue to be deceived. These church going
people, by their own confession, and by their own words,
deny God's POWER, to be able to help them to keep and obey
God's ten commandments, which Christ says one must do and
keep in order to grow in love, and to be given eternal life,
Matthew 19:16-17, "If you will enter into life,
keep the commandments." Christ tells
His followers in I John 5:3, "This is the LOVE of God
that we keep His commandments and His commandments are not grievous
(not a burden or pain.)"
In plain words, these church people
"have a form of godliness, (Christianity), but deny
the power thereof," and Christ
says, "From such turn away," II Timothy
3:5. To turn from such people means don't even fellowship
with them as being true members of the body of Jesus Christ!

Today's professed Christians
are of the state of mind in their religious
understanding as Christ's Word say in II Timothy 3:7,
of "ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge
of the truth ."
They, by accepting today's false, Christian teaching
as truth, are rejecting and resisting the truth about
the true Christ, His true Gospel, why Christ died, and
how one really does receive God's Holy Spirit, which provides
His great POWER to help them obey what Christ commands to receive
salvation. They, by resisting Christ's Word and truth by being
disobedient to Him, are denying God's POWER and are permitting
their minds to be corrupted and are without spiritual understanding.
All this resistance to His Word and denial of His Power causes
them to become a hypocrite and a reprobate concerning the
faith, II Timothy 3:8. Today's Christians are hollow shells,
not zealous, on fire, true Christians, and it is all because they
are following the doctrines of men, and not the teachings and doctrines
of Jesus Christ!

The average church going, professing
believer in Jesus Christ does not even know what is
the true gospel! They do not
know what is repentance and cannot explain it in
detail and how it relates to God's law and salvation. They do
not know whatis sin, nor can they clearly and fully
define it with examples! They do not know whatis grace and
can only parrot what men teach as being the meaning of grace
. They do not know what isrighteousness and what makes
one righteous in comparison to what makes a person a sinner.
In plain words, they do not know the difference between a sinner
and a saint, or an unrighteous church-going believer and sinner
and a true, righteous believer. Even though they profess that
they have been born again, they, by their fruit, really don't know
what it means to be born again.

These are all simple teachings of
Jesus Christ and His apostles, that every confessing believer should
know, but the truth of the matter is, today's confessing Christians
do not know and cannot explain the meaning of each of these
teachings, which are all vital to know and to understand concerning
a believer's salvation, and to receive the POWER of God to live as
a Christian.

Why is all of this true?
Why are today's church-going believers deceived about
their salvation? It is because the average church
going, confessing Christian has not done what Jesus
Christ has commanded in order for them to become a true
Christian. John says in II John 9"Whosoever transgresses and
abides not in the doctrine of Christ has not God---." So today's
professing Christians, by their rebellious works of resisting
to do what Christ commands them to do, cannot understand
these teachings in their life. Why! It is because they are continually
denying God's POWER, which comes through the gift of God's
HOLY SPIRIT, that Christ has made available to help them to
do what Christ commands and understand the truth about salvation.
No one can receive God's Holy Spirit unless he deeply repents
of breaking God's commandments, and is baptized and accepts Christ as
his Savior.

Baptism symbolizes the burial of the old man in a watery
grave, which is to repent and stop living the old way of life, of
doing what a person thinks is right and wrong in his own eyes, by his
own mind, by his own created standards, and by his own opinions, rather
than live a new life in Christ through the eyes, the mind, the
laws and commandments of God. This is the fruit of the difference between
a member following the way of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, where each person decides in own mind and heart what shall be
his standard to live his life and a member following the way of the
tree of life, where each person looks to God and His Standards,
His 10 commandments and submits his life to obeying each one of His
righteous commandments.

Today's church members confessing
to be of the Christian faith, deny God's POWER that He promises
to give to every repentant believer, in order to assist
that believer in being obedient to Christ and His ten commandments,
and to fulfill the New Covenant that every Christian
must accept and commit himself to obey!
The ten commandments is the law of the new covenant that Christ
commands to be written in every Christian heart, to produce
the work and fruit of the New Covenant, Hebrews 10:16.
This is what Christ is referring to by Him saying that a
member of His body must obey and desire to obey the commandments
to gain life, (Mat.19:17), and that He, Christ, will
come (is coming) in the flesh, that is Christ will come to live in that person through
His mighty POWER of His Holy Spirit, II John 6-8, in order to
enable that member to keep His commandments. Today's Christians
reject and resist God's commandments to be written in their
heart, because a mind that does not have Christ living in that
person through God's Spirit, is a carnal mind and is hostile against
God's commandments, as Christ has stated in Romans 8:7. When a
confessed believer denies and rejects God's POWER, they are really
rejecting Jesus Christ, they are rejecting the writing of God's commandments
in their heart, and are rejecting the faith and doctrine of Jesus
Christ, as His Word plainly teaches in II John 9.

Look what Christ says about any person rejecting
His doctrine that teaches about Him and His Gospel.
This confessing believer who rejects His teaching
is a deceiver and an antichrist, II John 6-10, and is one
who is confessing by his fruit that Christ comes not in the
flesh through His POWER into a person to help him keep His commandments.
This person is, as Christ warns, a reprobate of the faith! The
Greek WORD Adokimos (96) translated reprobate in
Strong's Concordance and dictionary means: a believer who is unapproved,
rejected, a worthless castaway! Christ in His Word, Titus
1:16, says that "they profess that they know God
(that they love Him): but in works
(works of disobedience, resistance to commandment
keeping) they deny Him (deny
Christ coming in their flesh with His POWER in them to obey
Him): BEING ABOMINABLE (detestable, unholy, unclean and disobedient,
teaching against obeying God's laws) and unto
every good work reprobate."

Today's Christians, who deny God's POWER
that is promised to them to help them obey Christ
and His ten commandments, are rebellious, unrighteous,
and detestable, and God the Father, and Jesus Christ,
have rejected such professing Christians as reprobates
of the faith. Christ speaking to all believers tells them
to "examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith: prove
your own selves. Don't you know if Christ is not in you, (you
are denying God's POWER) you are a reprobate," II Corinthians
13:5.

Paul wrote II Timothy 3:1-5
that "in the last days perilous
(difficult and dangerous)
times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their
own selves , (professing
Christian men, priests, pastors, ministers putting themselves
above God's commandments, worshipping themselves, their
body, their sexual desires, money, power, and all rejecting God's
law)covetous (lusting and
craving the unlawful and hurtful actions against themselves, their families
and others.

Men shall be BLASPHEMERS
(speaking against God, His commandments, and being disrespectful
to Him and Jesus Christ in every way) DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS
(never learning the first beginning authority in one's
life beginning in the family, so God's authority has no place
in their life),UNTHANKFUL
, UNHOLY (confessing Christians believing that no one
can be Holy, denying God's POWER.)

Today's confessing Christians are WITHOUT NATURAL
AFFECTION(priests, ministers and
members alike who teach the murdering of the young,
abortions, as well as sexually abusing them) TRUCEBREAKERS
(people who will not be honest, and continually
break agreements, marriage covenants and contracts all
in the Christian faith), FALSE ACCUSERS
(where the innocent and true believers are made to appear
guilty), INCONTINENT (striking out without having
any control over their emotions and their life), FIERCE
(today's religions of all faiths are violent and
abusive, filled with hate, strife and division against one another),
DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD (people despising
commandment keepers and the faithful and cannot stand to
be in their presence), TRAITORS (people confessing to
be religious, but betraying the true Christian faith, Jesus
Christ, their own family, country, laws and government),
(professors, theologians, confessing ministers who are all high
in themselves and worship themselves), HIGHMINDED
(men looking down upon common and poor people, showing respect
of persons).

Today's confessing Christians are LOVERS OF PLEASURE
MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD, (people spend all
or most of their time on pleasures of sports, watching sports,
partying, overeating and drinking, unlawful sex and desire
for it, where God is put at the very last or least in one's
mind, time, acknowledgment and worship in order to come
to know Him and Jesus Christ.) Today's confessed
Christians are guilty of all of these shameful sins,
which is breaking God's commandments and yet still,
profess to have faith, godliness of Christianity, but deny
the power that is available from Jesus Christ to overcome all
of these sins and be able to live free of the curses that all these
sins will bring upon them.

God's Word warns Christians in
Jude 3-4, "To earnestly contend
for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints,
because there are certain ungodly men who have crept
into Christianity and having turned the grace of God
into lasciviousness and are denying the only Lord God, and our
Lord Jesus Christ. "
Lasciviousness means that men (ministers) have come into the
Christian faith and believe they are above God's law and
have permission from their false christ, who it is, who
they really worship and follow all of his Christian,
false teaching, that they can break God's commandments, and
believe it is not important in salvation. So they continue to sin,
and still believe they will be accepted in God's sight! They refer
to this deceptive teaching as "grace without works" and believe
this is the teaching of Christ's Word, but this teaching is
a lie that will lead them and their followers to death!

JESUS CHRIST IN MATTHEW 19:16-17,
TELLS ALL
BELIEVERS DESIRING SALVATION, ETERNAL LIFE IN HIS KINGDOM,
THAT YOU MUST KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
THIS IS THE MESSAGE AND WORK AND TEACHING OF JESUS CHRIST
THAT MEN TRY TO DENY AS BEING HIS WORD! Did
Christ give to all of His followers desiring life, something
that is impossible to do? The majority of all professing Christians
today, believe that He did! By this, their own admission,
they are denying the POWER of God, because Jesus Christ tells
us with His POWER in us, nothing is impossible for us to do,
and that a believer can live without spot and blemish. Christ
tells us in Luke 18:27,"The things which
are impossible with men, are possible with God, with God and
His POWER in us," and Christ's
Word says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things
through Christ which strengthens me," being strengthened
through God's POWER!

But today's professed to be Christians
don't really believe this and don't have the faith
in God, His Word, and His POWER, and what a person
can accomplish through God's POWER working in him. Today's
Christians are empty shells, devoid of God's POWER,
and deny God's POWER to help them! They live and work and
try to live a Christian life by their own power and the power
of Satan, who says to them (Mat. 4:9) as he did to Christ, that he
will give them his power if they will worship him and follow
all his teachings that are taught by his enlightened ministry, II
Corinthians 11:13-15. They teach that a person is not required
to keep God's ten commandments in order to be accepted to be justified
to receive eternal life, and that everybody has eternal life
residing in them, Genesis 3:4-5. Paul's commission as well as all
of the apostles' doctrine was to turn people from the power and teaching
of Satan, to God's POWER and His true teachings, Acts 26:18. Here
in this verse Christ commanded Paul and all members
"to open the people's eyes, and turn them from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan unto (the power) of God."

Today's
Christians deny God's POWER and justify their lack of
His POWER by all of them having been accepted into today's
churches. By all of these members being accepted in today's
body of believers, to them this is proof that they really
have God's POWER working within them and that all of this
is God working with them, and that they have eternal life.
They believe by only accepting the Name of Jesus Christ, without
the other things Christ commands them to do, that this will give
them God's POWER to be a Christian. Satan really does have all these
believers deceived about receiving God's POWER through His Spirit,
and about receiving eternal life.

CHURCH MEMBERS HAVE BEEN
LED TO ACCEPT TODAY'S FALSE, CHRISTIAN, MISGUIDED
MINDSET THAT GOD CAN GIVE POWER TO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
ONLY AFTER ONE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SPIRIT AS A RESURRECTED
MEMBER IN GOD'S KINGDOM, BUT THAT THEY CANNOT RECEIVE
THAT POWER NOW IN THIS LIFE. This is a clear admission of
self confessing Christians who are denying God's POWER to do
all that Christ commands of His followers. God commands His
true members of His Body to be HOLY, I Peter 1:14-15, but today's
Christians deny the POWER of God to be HOLY
or become HOLY, Eph. 1:4. God tells true Christians
to be RIGHTEOUS, I John 3:7, but today's Christians
deny Gods POWER to be righteous. Christ commands today's Christians
to be PERFECT, Mat. 5:48, but they deny God's POWER
to become perfect. Today's believers believe that no member
can become righteous and live without breaking God's commandments,
and any member of Christ who says he can BE RIGHTEOUS, and is righteous,
is accepted as being self-righteous by today's confessed Christians,
and is called a Pharisee. For eyes that see, it is clear
how today's professing Christians are denying the POWER of God
by their resistance to follow Christ's WORD! Even though God
tells all in Romans 5:19, "For by one man's disobedience
(Adam's wrong tree choice) many were made
sinners, so by the obedience of one (Christ's sinless life)
shall many be made righteous." Many can be made righteous
through the shed blood of Christ and given POWER by Him to
keep and obey His commandments, to be justified and to be righteous,
but this POWER of God to be able to do this, is denied by today's
professed Christians to help them to be completely righteous
without being a sinner at the same time. Read our article "
From
Sinner to Saint
." Paul says in I Corinthians 2:5 to all Christians,
"That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men (their
watered down theology) but in the POWER of God."

When today's believers deny the POWER of God through
the guidance of His Holy Spirit, they are unable to understand
the teachings of Jesus Christ! They will not be
able to understand the true Gospel, the good news that Jesus
Christ and the apostles preached! Instead, they will be led
through false preaching, to accept one of the false and perverted
gospels that is being taught in today's Christianity. The
very first thing that Christ taught the people was their need to
repent, to repent of their sins as defined by God's commandments. So,
if a person who confesses to be of Christ, but continues to live
in his sins, he is continuing to remain in the darkness of Satan,
and is a reprobate in the faith! Repentance by today's
Christian teaching has been so watered down that
it no longer means to recognize their sins and to stop
committing these sins, as recognized and defined by God's
law, but to them it means what each individual person decides
what is sin. This is the beginning of a person resisting and
denying God's POWER, and to begin to build one's life on truth
in order to be accepted by Jesus Christ for salvation. When
a called out person resists and refuses to recognize and acknowledge
what is sin by what God says is sin as pertaining to His commandments,
this person is not and will not be chosen by Jesus Christ for salvation
and eternal life in His Kingdom. He will be cast out of Christ's
presence at His coming, Matthew 25:12,41.
When one resists and denies God's POWER to help him
understand, which is the very beginning heart and mind
that a Christian must have to begin his new life in Jesus
Christ, then he is cut off from understanding Christ's Gospel.
He is cut off from understanding what it means to be converted.
He is cut off from understanding and the meaning of God's grace
and is cut off from being born again by first being given a small
portion of God's Spirit, to begin his new life in Jesus Christ.
So without the understanding how a life in Christ must first
begin, a person will continue to stay in a state of deception, confusion
of what is true Christianity, darkness and blindness to sins,
and is DENYING THE POWER OF GOD, through His Word, to teach
him the way to true righteousness!So in truth, when a potential
believer rejects and denies the POWER of God, he is
denying the instruction given in God's Word to teach him about
true repentance, why Jesus Christ died, why His Body was broken,
bruised and beaten and His blood shed, and by this, a
believer is rejecting Jesus Christ, His Gospel, His Grace,
His forgiveness of his sins and the giving of God's Spirit!
There will be no resurrection of a person to eternal life
who resists and denies God's Spirit and POWER as being a vital
part of His life here and now, Romans 8:11!
